The Huron Expositor, 1892-02-19, Page 10our insolence," he said, "can serve no
object. It is useless to say that it may ex-
acerbate the wound you have already in-
flicted upon the family feeling and the
family character and the family pride, a
feeling, a character, and a pride, sir, which
are not accustomed to be dragged through
the humiliating dust of base intrigue,
Harry relieved him from a dilemma for
his lordahip pasitively saw no fitting Close
to his period.
"I beg your pardon, sir. Will you be so
good as to tell me what I have done? I
may be better able to accept your denunci-
ations afterwards,"
The young:man was sore against his titled
relative and thought he had a right to be.
Lord liounea had publicly insulted .hirn,
without a cause that he himself could trace,
and the boy had no more idea of the mean-
ing of his lordship's oratorical greeting than
the man in the moon might have had.
"Lady McCorquodale, said his lordship,
suppressing himself by an heroic effort,
"has lust returned here from the shop of
Mr. Butterfield, a jeweller, in Conduit
Street." The criminal turned a little white
at this, and winced. He had thought it
punishment enough for his past reckless-
ness that he should have to pay something
like a thousand pounds for a year or two's
interest on three hundred, and he had not
collated on the humiliation of discovery.
It was bad enough to know that he had
been a fool, and that he had so heavily
crippled his own resources. "She has
learned there," pursued his lordship, "that
you are infamously in debt there, and that
the objects you purchased there could have
but one destination. You pretend, sir, to
aspire to the hand of an innocent and
charming young lady; you persist with a de-
grading selfishness in standing in that
young lady's way to wealth and an honour-
able position; you profess yourself to be
animated by a lofty and Quixotic attach-
ment, and in the same hour with all this
you pursue an intrigue with some vile and
abominable woman whom you hide from the
eyes of your fam;ly and of the world."
"That is absolutely untrue, sir," Harry
lowered.
"Untrue!" thundered his lordship.
"Iody McCorquodale and Mrs. Brotheria
hate with their own eyes beheld the owl-
donee of your infamy."
The young man's blood boiled, but he re-
strained hirneelf, and indeed the thought
that they were stabbing at him through
Inthia so sickened him a moment later that
he had need rather to spur than to control
himself. For a mere instant the thought
assailed him that the construction• Lord
Hounes put upon his purpose was manu-
factured for the family uses, but he himself
was too natively justoninded to hold that
suspicion long. He had to acltnit that the
charge looked probable.
‘134tay I ask your lordship," he said, "to
employ a little moderation? Will you do
me the *tre justice to tell me of what you
achnse me?"
"Do me the favor then," returned his
• lordship, "to respond categorically to toy
enquiries. Are you, or are you not, indebt-
ed to Mr. Butterfield?"
"I am indebted," Harry answered, "to
Mr. Butterfield in the sum of two thousand
three hundred pounds. I have a constant
assurance that be will willingly wait two
years for the money, and in that time I
expect to be able to pay him."
"Indeed!" rejoined his lordship, with a
sneer, which set Harry's blood racing and
boiling again. "And now you vrill tell me
with what other object than to pander to
your own vices you made that extravagant
purchase! For whom did you buy those
jewels?"
"I bought them for myself," he answered
desperately.
His lordship and Lady McCorquodale
broke into a scornful laugh at this.
"You expect us to believe that'!" her
ladyship asked.
"I expect to be believed in whatever I
may say. I have a right to expect to be
believed."
"To whom did you give those jewels?"
her ladyship asked. She was disposed to
be &meter in her inquiries than hor brother.
"You may as well tell us the creature's name
at once, and put an end to this disgraceful
scene"
"This," said the boy desperately, "is a
private matter of my own. I have given
no man the right to hold 'such language as
Lord Hounes has used to me. If it con-
cerns you to know that I bought the jewels
I have owned the fact already. When 1
fail honourably to pay for them 1 will eub-
mit to anything you may choose to say to
me."
This was all very well in its way, and he
was conscious of enough right on his side
to allow him to be angry and disdainful at
the charges brought against him, but the
thought of Inthia came again. They would
tell her this wicked. story, and would do
their best to make her believe it. That
cooled his courage, and. he -went on in an-
other tune.
"My dear Lady' McCorquodale, I give
you my word. of honor, my most solemn
and unreserved assurance, that your sus-
picions concerning this affair arc utterly un-
founded.'
"And you bought the jewele?" said her
ladyship.
"1 bought the jewels."
"To whom did you present them?"
"I presented them to nobody."
"Then you have them now?"
"No_ They are no longer in my hande."
"Where are they?"
"That, with all due regard to your lady-
ship, I must decline to say."
11:Eis lordship's mind was suddenly en-
lightened, and if he had seen fit he could at
that moment have hit the nail on the head
at the first blow. But he was a bit of a
diplomatist in his way, and preferred to
nurse his. conclusion as a secret. He re-
membered Harry's visit, and his urgent re-
quest for a loan. The stones had been
made away with, and the young man would
not confess it. But since Providence had
put in the family hands such an excellent
means of separating him from Inthia as the
surface story of the purchase afforded, he
felt that it would he actually sinful not to
use it.
"Very well," her ladyship responded,
rising and drawing her furs about her.
"You understand, Mr. Wynne, that In-
thia is my ward. I shall permit you to
hold no further intercourse with her, and
I desire that in future you will not ad-
dress me or claim acquaintanceship in any
way."
"Be good enough," interjected his lord-
ship, "to consider our knowledge of each
other at an end. H you have any hope
that your family will assist you in this
shameful matter I take upon myself to say
that to •whatever extremities ivou may be
pushed; that hope is, and will remain, il-
lusory."
After this there was nothing left but to
go, ;nth whatever dignity was possible, and
the Pariah, thus solenanly ejected from the
family circle, went away without a word.
CHAPTER VI.
Four or five hours had gone by before he
staid properly he said to think of anything.
He walked unconsciously straight back to
his chambers, and sat there in his gloves
and hat, sternly surveying a wild whirl of
incoasequent and incongruous fancies. He
was like one dazed by a heavy blow on the
head, too stunned to feel his own pain. It
oflourred`to him, often to think that he took
eismationeisieressmismanrieene
tnings very easily, ono once ne saut, with
1 Hamlet, that he was pigeon -livered, and
lacked gall to make oppression bitter. He
could not even find energy to be angry at
the epithets Lord Hounes had hurled upon
him, nor even — stranger still — to care
1 greatly about Inthia's wounded heart when
1 she should hear the calutnny. Bit by bit
1 the pain sharpened, the stunned feeling
1 cleared away, and his mind got to work
I again. He began to think it inevitable
that on the evidence against him Inthia
must believe him guilty. He told himself
thaanothing in the world should persuade
1 him that he was unfaithful tet him in a
1 thought, and out of his own loyalty he
1 brewed a cordial, warm and spiced enough
to cheer his failing heart a little. Its effect
was transitory ;- the evidence agair.st him
was too strong. What could she do but
believe that which everybody about her be-
lieved? He was forbidden her presence,
and he knew how, with the exception of
Inthia everybody hailed his seeming down-
fall. They would press Humphrey Frost
and his millions upon her now, and perhaps, -
in the sore desperation of her heart, she
might accept ,hinr. He prowled up and
down his room -like a beast in pain. It is
hard to be young and alive from head to
heel, and to be thus fettered by the impos-
sibilities, to stand behind invisible bars be-
yond which there is no passage, and to see
the soul's desire borne, passionately weep-
ing, away. His own impotence writhed .in
him; like a twisted arrow in a wound. He
was helpless, _helpless, helpless! He could
do nothing.
Yes. One -thing at least he could do.
He could write to Inthia and tell her the
whole truth from first to last. It was hu-
miliating, but by contrast with the lie the
truth looked heavenly- bright. He had
been to Wattle, foolishly, wickedly to blame,
but he Wee no inmate of the sty where
Lady McCorquodale's fancy saw him, the
vile place Inthia was to bit told of as his
natural habitat. True to heif ! How could
he be otherstise than true t4ier ?—all pur-
ity, truth aryl goodness as she wan. Could

eyes and the sweet welcome of her hands le

elle discovery, and removed them. Then
ne sat down, and began to write. He
filled sheet after sheet with wild protesta-
tions ef truth and love, and when he bad
finished the letter, behold it meant nothing
to his mind. All the blood and passion, all
the heat and fervor, seemed to have stopped
short at his #ager -tips. Not a tone of the
wild kaleidoscopic splendors of his heart
haii touched! the paper. It stared, blank,
cold, and Meaningless. He tore it across
and across and threw it into the fire -grate,
and an anew, with the same chilling re-
melt. He did not know how the night
went by, Init, the noise of the fretful wind
and the plaeh of the mournful rain outeide
were part of him. Many and many a time
afterwards the noises of the stormy night
brought back that time so vividly that his
heart ached at them with the memory of
its own old pain.
At length, when he seemed to have cast
all the scot out of hie heart and brain,
his though 'ran clear. He wrote a letter,
brief and lhcid, in Which he told, as well
and clearly as another knowing all the cir-
cumstances Couldthave told it for him, the
story of hie 'entanglement. He did not
spare his own foolishness, but he closed
with a humble hope that it was over, and
that his lessen would last him for his life-
time.
He looked up, and lo! the day had.

Harry kept a resolute g.od temper. ,

said. "All sorts of things good, bad, and
indifferent. What is the one thing you
want to speak about?"
"Well, upon my word," said Heaton,
"you take it coolly."
"I try to," the young m n answered.
Captain Heaton threw tie theme clean
away with both hands, anc looked mourn-
fully resigned.
"You—you don't know? 1 You—you don't
know?" he said, a moment' later, knitting
his eyebrows in inquiring Wonderment, and
leaning across the table towards his com-
panion.
"Confound it all, man!" �ried the badger-
ed youth, "I have told you already that I
don't know. Do you know? Upon my soul
I think the whole world' going mad to-

"Oh!" said the captain, with an air of

"I did. And what of t at?"
"Will you tell me what ou did with the

There was a pause for a

PRESSURE and SUCTION WASHER.
Between 4,000 and 5,000 already Manufactured are sold.
The Great Mystery Solved.
It is an acknowledged fact, that this Washer has no equal, it is one of the
wonders of the age, for there are ,actually two machines in one. Fourteen
Shirts can be washeld at a time, seven on each side. This machine has the
hand principle with a leverage power. The old way is acknowledged by all
very destructive to the clothes. The finest fabrics can be washed with this
machine without the least injury to the goods. The machine will pay for
itself by the saving of the goods, ais there is no rubbing; it is all done by
pressure and suction. When the handles are drawn to the left, the right side
closes, thus forcing the suds throu'r the clothes, and • when the handles are
drawn to the other side the opera,t on is reversed,,and the clothes on the right
side are again filling with water. Another great feature of this machine is,
that it holds the clothes together throughout the washing process, and for each
seven movements of the handles, the clothes make one revolution. Conse-
•quently, there are five different operations made with one motion of the
handles. It does its work equal to,if not better, than any hand work in a very
short time, and it is also easy to eperate. A child of fourteen can do the
washing. •
